Fantastic Beasts: Making Five Movies is A Great Idea

Worried about those 5 Fantastic Beasts movie?

J.K. Rowling has got this.

One might even call it money-grabbing.

(And many have.)

First, lets get this one out of the way.

Because its not really a story at all.

Yes, shes that good.

So, noFantastic Beastsisnt based on one book.

It could probably stretch much longer.

Of course its a money-grabbing move…

…But that doesnt mean it isnt also a narratively-minded one, too.

I have it, too.

We all want to believe that our favorite big-budget stories are untainted by the vulgar influence of money.

Its their main function.

This is the nature of capitalism.

The thing is: good stories and money-grabbing tend to be entwined.

(See the hot, fascinating mess that is currently the Divergent on-screen adaptations.)

Rowling has proven herself a veritable wizard (forgive me) at long-form, serialized storytelling.

Seriously,I wrote a whole article about this.

J.K. Rowling has more than earned my trust.

And, guys, Twitter has checked.
